Snowshoeing and Cross-Country Skiing

When there is enough snow, Florissant Fossil Beds' gentle meadows, hills, and trails can be a great place to snowshoe or cross-country ski.  

The Monument does not have any equipment available, so please bring your own snowshoes or cross-country skis.

During the winter, there may be an opportunity to go on a ranger-guided snowshoe hike. Please call for more details or for current conditions, call the Monument at 748-3253.
